Full-Time Workload

The normal workload for a full-time student on a taught programme will be 60 ECTS credits in a standard two-semester academic year.

Full-time students will normally pursue modules equivalent to 30 ECTS credits per semester. However, to permit flexibility and facilitate student choice, a full-time student may pursue a greater (provided there are available spaces on the module) or lesser number of credits in a single semester, subject to the approval of the Programme Coordinator. The academic load for a full-time student will not exceed a maximum of 40 ECTS credits in a given semester, or more than 70 ECTS credits in a two-semester academic year.

The student must meet the full cost of any additional credits she/he chooses.
